The correct answer is "It foreshadows Okonkwo's imminent downfall".  Thins Fall Apart was written by Chinua Achebe and its main character Okonkwo. The folktale closely adheres to the definitions of a classic Greek tragedy and a typical tragic hero. Okonkwo tragic fall was to kill Ikemefuna, his adopted son. An Okonkwo's friend, Obierica, even foreshadowed the significant and imminent downfall that would come of his killing of Ikemefuna.

What is the main idea in this entry from Dorothy Wordsworth's journal? 31st. Set forward to Stowey at half-past five. A violent
Daniel [21]

Answer:

The main idea in this entry from Dorothy Wordsworth's journal is:

B. the weather during the writer's journey to Holford.

Explanation:

After reading this passage, we can see how the focus is on the weather. Even if it is described in almost poetic way, and even if the moon is mentioned a couple of times, the author's point is to give an account of what the weather was like during the journey to Holford. We are told about the clouds, gusts of wind, the sound of the storm, what things looked like before and after it hit... Notice, however, that the writer does not express any dislike for the stormy weather. It is just a simple account of it, but written in a beautiful manner.

4vir4ik [10]

This question is incomplete. Its full version is:

On the afternoon of that eventful day, I stood on the porch, dumb, expectant. I guessed vaguely from my mother's signs and from the hurrying to and fro in the house that something unusual was about to happen, so I went to the door and waited on the steps. The afternoon sun penetrated the mass of honeysuckle that covered the porch and fell on my upturned face. My fingers lingered almost unconsciously on the familiar leaves and blossoms which had just come forth to greet the sweet southern spring. I did not know what the future held of marvel or surprise for me.  

Which answer choice best describes the imagery in the excerpt?

  1. Sensory details appeal to the reader's sense of hearing.
  2. A metaphor creates a visual image for the reader.
